| Personal Notes: |
|
Muriel was born in Esk, the elder daughter of George and May Francis. She did all her schooling at Kumbia after which, for a short period, she assisted her mother at home.
Around that time her sporting relaxation was tennis, a game which she played particularly well. Muriel was also secretary of the Kumbia Croquet Club for a time. Later, obtaining a position on the staff of the Maryborough Base Hospital, she met and married Bob Lafferty of Coolabunia, who was killed in action on Bougainville in July 1945. There was one child of the marriage, Janet. At the time Muriel and Tom were married, Tom conducted the Post Office at Scarness. After some years, they moved to Atherton in North Queensland with their family which eventually numbered five, including Janet. Muriel worked for some time with the TAB. After Tom died, Muriel came back to Kingaroy and spent about three years caring for her father in his closing years. She then returned to North Queensland to live with some of her family. She has derived a great deal ofenjoymentfrom playing bridge at which she is quite adept - it is still one of her main recreations. In 2000 she was living at Morayfield still travelling whenever possible with the local bridge club. |
